I’ve witnessed similar and in a way, I think the person was kept alive too long. I personally think they would’ve died from other causes well before it got to the stage they were at. Euthanasia is probably a pretty important thing because of this. If we’re going to resuscitate people in their 80s, then maybe we shouldn’t let them go through the “long death” a few years later.

All in all it’s a tragic thing the only constellation is that I guess after 24 hours in that, one welcomes death with open arms.

I saw it with my father--to take the pain the morphine also took his memory. And in the end there was only suffering--fortunately, the problem would quickly kill making him eligible for terminal sedation.
